Thank you. I did see that, but was left wondering more exactly. Is it the same as cars locking features behind a subscription?

@Izzgo @Skyline @eterps It's like houses locking themselves so the door won't open unless you arrived by Ford(R).

No, for the majority of people, you probably won't notice any differences on the surface (unless you use an adblocker). This is one of those things that will hurt you in more invisible and insidious ways.

Also, read more closely? that section is literally dedicated to the bad stuff that might happen.

If you must have a comparison to something car-related, it's closer to being forced to do a credit check before buying a car.
